Vacuum
Port Alfred's Juan Pretorious got a phone call yesterday to say: “I see in the back of the SeaRescue magazine that you need a vacuum cleaner - could you pop down and meet me at the Wimpy'.Tadaaaa…….
Mrs Pamela Difford and son Mr Nigel Difford present a brand new vacuum cleaner to Port Alfred Station Commander Juan Pretorious
Anne, from Durban, also receives the magazine and she called to donate waterproof torches and headlamps to St 8 Hout Bay. She chose Hout Bay because eleven years ago they had gone out to search for her late husband. Although we were not able to save him, she was touched by the dedication of our crew.
